Trump is DiSGUSTING. Shame on all who support such a bizzare and perverse (in many different ways) "man".

Claimed deportng 11 m was feasible since the Germans did this in WW II. Actually ran through the numbers in meticulous detail. The post caused quite a stir at the time. I believe the blogger wrote for WND or some other big RW site

a special statement.....

...is how instead of projecting outrage, as he gets deeper into the monologue he projects more sadness and despair that this is all even thinkable in our country today.

families, burn a few crosses, etc.

Indeed, years of GOP rhetoric have already been inciting border vigilantes like the Minutemen in droves. As we all know, that is a very slippery slope toward Brownshirts targeting political opponents in general (most of us here on DU, for example).

who went off on a red-faced rant about Bill, would be one of the people gladly rounding people up or coming after people they know are vocally against Trump! Violence is all they have. They surely don't have brains!

That said, I worry for that girlfriend of his. It probably wouldn't take much for someone like that to take out his differences of opinion with his lady in a physical way. Hope I'm wrong about that.

God help her! I cannot believe so many worry about 'where would I go?', 'I can't get by on my own', and instead stay with an abuser. My old pastor's wife worked at a battered woman's shelter, so she was rather progressive unlike him (still a good guy, but his politics were not pretty after he turned from his hippy days), and she'd anonymously describe these poor ladies lives and I was so sad for them. I went in one time to paint something for them, and they were terrified of me. She told them, he's around our daughters all the time and they love him, you're alright....

How sad they were that harmed by some piggish men, who probably LOVE Donald Dump!

In most other developed countries - even some developing ones like Argentina (although the new, right-wing Macri regime has been defunding it) - there are state-funded programs to help women in abusive marriages or relationships by giving them rent assistance or a spot in public housing and a temporary stipend or government job. It's not much of course; but it often means life or death for women in the kind of situation you described above.

Here, as you pointed out, we mostly leave religious entities to deal with that - and to their credit, many really do help. It should, however, be part of official social policy.

But of course that's one of our key differences with our right-wing friends: they simply don't believe - and even resent - the notion of social policy. Even the thought of women dying needlessly from domestic abuse doesn't faze them, amazingly.

Someday, we'll get there!

Your words to God's ear.

All the best to that friend of yours. I'm sure everything will go smoothly; but she's lucky to have a good friend such as yourself if needs to talk to someone.

Forget "Brownshirts". These would be "Redhats"

Perhaps Hugo Boss can help them with these things - like they did for the SS during the Third Reich.

because I don't believe he was heading into the campaign and is in debt up to his bouffant combover, but now he's got some cash thanks to the donations from the 'faithful'...

This short book relates to the lies that are a constant part of what we hear from Trump, our congress people, and the media.

"...Through the lens of the Holocaust, Andy examines how Hitler was able to get eleven million people to march to their deaths with so little resistance. In short, he lied to them. And, sadly, they believed it.
If the truth is what sets us free, we need to ask what it means to live in a society where truth is absent, where we are routinely lied to by politicians of both parties, Wall Street, and the media. What is at stake? Can we survive in such a culture of deception?
Our only hope, Andy argues, is an informed citizenry that demands truth at every level—first from themselves and second from their leaders. We must be able to separate fact from fiction, truth from lies, and hold those who lie accountable."

Do you agree that we are being lied to on a scale that threatens the foundation of our civilization?
